Seattle Film Institute
A few weeks ago, we helped to spread the great news that the Seattle Film Institute (SFI) has just been approved to offer a Master of Arts in Producing for Film and a Master of Fine Arts in Filmmaking—the only graduate programs for film in the entire Northwest. The new degrees make their debut February 2011, but you can join SFI tomorrow, November 20, for an informational meeting to learn more about the programs. This is not only a chance to get your burning questions answered; it’s also a great opportunity to see the school, meet key faculty members and other prospective students, and also to get the scoop on scholarships and financial aid. The event will be held at SFI’s main campus from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm. For more information or directions, be sure to check out the link.
SHORELINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE ANNOUCES NEW DEGREE IN DIGITAL FILMMAKING
Shoreline Community College
Shoreline Community College (SCC) has just been approved to retool their Digital Filmmaking Technology certificate program into an Applied Associate of Arts degree. Compatible with other baccalaureate programs in the state, SCC’s new degree in Digital Filmmaking features a unique hybrid curriculum, giving film students the option to earn general education and transfer credits while completing a professional-technical degree. “We wanted students to leave not only loving film and video but also having a good, strong academic background,” program designer and instructor Ruth Gregory said of the new digital filmmaking degree. “We know that there are students who have been cheering [this] process on from the sidelines and we are excited to officially be able to share the degree with them.” Information about the AA in Digital Filmmaking is already available on the SCC website, but the school is also hosting a kickoff information event Tuesday, November 16.
